The St. Regis San Francisco appoints Christopher Williams as Director of Restaurant Operations

The St. Regis San Francisco, the city’s premier address for luxury accommodations, gracious service and timeless elegance, is pleased to announce the appointment of Christopher Williams to the position of Director of Restaurant Operations.  A certified sommelier and accomplished restaurant industry veteran, Williams joins the property with over a decade of experience in the industry.

Williams is a native of Georgia and began his career waiting tables at Maggiano’s Little Italy in Atlanta. By 2011 he took his first leadership position as Captain at Atlanta’s Restaurant Eugene. With a lifelong passion for both food and wine, during this time Williams continued his studies and eventually passed his intro and certified exam to become a Court of Master Certified Sommelier within three months. Williams was now well established within the restaurant industry and by 2014 worked as a Sommelier at Atlas within The St Regis Atlanta Hotel.  Moving between Georgia and Cambridge Massachusetts for several years, he eventually made his way to the West Coast. Williams most recently worked at the 3 Star Michelin Restaurant, The Restaurant at Meadowood, in St. Helena as Captain before taking a position at Sonoma County’s award-winning winery, Kosta Browne, during the pandemic.  Eventually, he made his way to San Francisco and held the position of Captain at Niku Steakhouse which just earned its first Michelin Star in 2021.

“We warmly welcome Mr. Williams to The St. Regis San Francisco,” said Roger Huldi, General Manager of The St. Regis San Francisco. “He’s a seasoned industry professional that holds natural leadership skills, is passionate about food and wine and is dedicated to providing gracious service.
